Will my VA Benefits be enough to cover my tuition at Clovis Community College?

The amount will be based on the type of VA benefits you are eligible for, the number or credit hours you schedule, and the current VA rates. Your VA benefits will be paid to you in monthly installments over the semester. The College expects your tuition to be paid-in-full at the start of the semester. Normally one month's check may not be enough to pay your tuition. It is the student's responsibility to pay tuition, in full, by the deadline date. Although the amount of VA benefits you receive for the semester may be more than enough to cover your tuition, the college will not wait for you to receive all your checks to pay your tuition. If you need assistance paying your tuition you should apply for financial aid.

Call the Department of Veterans Affairs Toll free number 1.888.442.4551 to see if the check has been mailed/deposited. If the funds have not been released be sure to ask why not? If it is a school related concern, contact the VA Coordinator.

To avoid delays or overpayment of VA benefits, each VA recipient is responsible to report any changes in status to the College VA Office: change of address, change of Program, change in credit hours, withdrawal from school.
